President Benigno Aquino III has declared July 27, a Sunday, a special non-working holiday to commemorate the 100th founding anniversary of the Iglesia ni Cristo.

Aside from Proclamation No. 815 declaring 2014 as the Iglesia ni Cristo Centennial Year, Communications Secretary Herminio Coloma Jr. said the President signed last Friday Joint Resolution No. 2 declaring July 27 as a special non-working holiday to commemorate the 100th founding anniversary of Iglesia ni Cristo. The resolution was also approved by the Houses of Congress.

The influential religious group will hold its 100th anniversary on July 27 at the newly built world's largest indoor domed Philippine Arena in Ciudad de Victoria, Bocaue, Bulacan.
